Chapter 360 I studied hard for my aunt
At the end of this semester, Pengfei's grades improved a lot. He was originally at the bottom of the key class, but this time he moved up to the middle.
Being in the middle of the best class in the best school in Suzhou is already a lifetime for many people.
Everyone said that it really took three people to be in a class, and under the supervision of Xiaoting and Dongzhe, Pengfei's performance would improve by leaps and bounds.
Only Huang Ling knew that Pengfei was working hard for his aunt.
Although Zhu Xiuyu never put any pressure on him in terms of grades, he didn't want to be criticized.
In the eyes of others who don't know the situation of the Zhuang family, Zhu Xiu Yu is not taking care of her sick parents-in-law because she has to take care of Pengfei who is studying. Pengfei knows that if his grades don't improve, the Zhuang family will have something to say, and others will have a lot to say too.
Now, everyone sees that his aunt takes good care of him. He has grown taller, fatter, and his grades are getting better and better. He has shut everyone up.
Zhuang Hualin was extremely nervous when she received a call at work. She had already prepared herself for her son's academic performance to decline. After hearing her son's grades, she was stunned and almost asked if he had been transferred to another class.
Pengfei continued, "Auntie Huang said she's better at high school courses. My English score was actually over 80, ranking tenth in the class. Auntie Huang said she doesn't expect too much from me. She doesn't expect me to be able to listen and speak well, just answer the questions correctly."
"Yes, yes, you should listen to your Aunt Huang. You should listen to her. It's absolutely right to listen to her," Zhuang Hualin silently wiped away a tear and asked, "Are you going to come back this summer? Didn't you say you would bring Dongzhe to Guizhou for a trip last time?"
Pengfei hesitated for a moment, then replied:
"Mom, I was just about to tell you this. I don't want to go back home during the summer vacation."
Zhuang Hualin felt a little disappointed, but still said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want. Mom is fine with it."
"Aunt Huang wants to open a restaurant and asked my aunt to help. The business will open in September, so they are very busy in the next two months. I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to help them during the holiday," Pengfei explained.
"Okay, that's what I should do." Zhuang Hualin was comforted to see his son being so sensible.
Pengfei hung up the phone, turned around and looked at Dongzhe who was waiting for him, and said with a smile:
"It's not too late to regret now! If I don't go this summer, I won't be able to go until I graduate from high school!"
Dongzhe gritted his teeth and said, "I don't regret it. You said we have to help!"
Originally, Song Ying had agreed because she saw that both of them had done well in the exam, but for some reason Dongzhe himself didn't want to go.
Pengfei rolled his eyes at him and said, "Alright, let's go!"
The two of them rode their bikes to pick up Xiaoting, and the three of them made an appointment to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books.
Pengfei was worried about Xiaoting. She couldn't ride a bike yet, walking was too hot and too far, and taking the bus was too smelly and too crowded.
Dongzhe was worried about Pengfei's worries as well as his own worries.
When they arrived at the gate of the family compound, Dongzhe rode Pengfei's old bike and asked Pengfei to ride his bike to pick up Xiaoting.
Because Pengfei's driving skills are better than his.
Dongzhe complained while riding Pengfei's bike:
"Oh my goodness! This bike will fall apart if you keep riding it! Let Aunt Zhu buy you another one!"
"Buying a car is free! My aunt's money and my mom's money are all hard-earned money. If you can ride it, then ride it! We'll deal with it later when you can't ride it anymore!"
This bike was originally a second-hand item bought by Zhuang Chaoying for him and Hongbin. It was very old to begin with and had been ridden for several years, so it was now in great tatters.
The frequency of pushing the bicycle home has increased a lot in recent days, so Zhu Xiu Yu wanted to buy Pengfei a new one. He disagreed, saying that it depends on whether he can last for another two years. If he goes to college in another city, he will not be able to use it, and it will also break down if he buys it and keeps it at home.
No matter what Zhu Xiu Yu said, she refused to agree, so she had no choice but to wait. When the bicycle was too broken to ride, she would have to buy a new one.
Arriving at the Xinhua Bookstore, Xiaoting said to the two of them, "My mom gave me some money and told me to use it freely if I wanted to buy books. She'll cover it."
"Really?" Dongzhe was very happy.
"I am responsible for supervising the types of books purchased. We cannot buy random books." Xiaoting added.
"It's the same whether it's wrapped or not." Dongzhe was disappointed again.
"You can also buy novels." Xiaoting added again.
"Sister Xiaoting, can you please finish what you want to say at once?" Dongzhe shouted.
After entering the store, Dongzhe felt relieved. Chen Shurui was not there and his mother was not at work. He finally felt at ease.
After buying the books, Pengfei returned home. It was not on his way to take Xiaoting home, so Dongzhe took Xiaoting home.
Dongzhe rode slowly under the shade of the tree while chatting with Xiaoting.
"Aren't you studying so hard just to be able to go to Guizhou for the summer vacation? Why aren't you going?" When the three of them were buying books just now, Xiaoting heard that they meant they were not going to Guizhou for the trip.
"Oh, no, I won't go. My mom is right. It's too much trouble for your aunt. They are already busy and hard at work, and they have to take care of me. Besides, I want to wait for Brother Tunan to come back! He said he would be back during the summer vacation."
"You don't have to consider my feelings. You guys go out and have fun. I don't like going out." Xiaoting paused for a moment and suddenly said.
It turned out that Dongzhe was afraid that Xiaoting would be sad because she couldn't go out to play because of her injured leg.
Before she was injured, Huang Ling had mentioned this matter, saying that if she went to Guizhou for a trip during the summer vacation, she would take Xiaoting with her.
There is no need to ask in this situation. Even if Xiaoting wants to go, her aunt and uncle will not agree.
Dongzhe answered loudly, "It's none of your business. I thought it would be fun for us to go together after the college entrance exam. Your foot should be better before we can go hiking. Then we can go with Auntie, Uncle Zhou, and my parents."
Xiaoting hummed softly in the back seat.
Silence followed, leaving only the chirping of insects in the afternoon, but to the ears of the two, even the chirping of insects was pleasant.
When Pengfei returned home and just reached the entrance of the alley, the owner of the convenience store told him that his uncle had called and left a message, asking him to help take some things to the dealer.
The boss handed him the written note and asked:
"Pengfei! Are your grandparents' illnesses getting any better? I see Teacher Zhuang has been hospitalized for half a year!"
"Same as always, he can't live without someone, so my uncle has been living there all the time." More than one person asked Pengfei this question, and he always said the same thing.
He returned home with the note and prepared things according to Zhuang Chaoying's requirements.
He is a man of things, so he knows where everything in the house is and can prepare it quickly.
He put the money Zhu Xiuyu gave him for buying books back into the drawer, took some change and took the bus to deliver the things to the village.
Ever since Zhuang Chaoying came to their house last time and asked them to go visit Zhuang's parents but was refused, he has never come home again.
This is the second time today that I asked him to deliver something.
The last time was at the beginning of summer when he asked Pengfei to deliver some books. Pengfei was sensible and packed two sets of summer clothes along with the meal.
This time, they also asked him to send a pair of summer clothes. I guess the ones he sent before were worn out, but he was reluctant to buy new ones, so he asked Pengfei to send the rest.
He went to find Pengfei, but didn't dare let Pengfei stay at the banker's house for too long, so he let him go back after delivering the things.
When Pengfei arrived at Zhuang's house, it was quiet. Zhuang's father and mother were still taking a nap, and only Zhuang Chaoying was working at the table.
Summer vacation is no easier than usual. He lost his previous position as deputy director of the teaching and research group, but next year he will be in charge of the graduating class. If he makes some achievements in the graduating class, the deputy director of the College Entrance Examination Office will retire at the end of the year, and he might be able to get this position.
